Central Hawke's Bay: Stay Safe for A&P Show
To be released immediately 6 November 2009
The
Central Hawke’s Bay A & P Show is a fantastic event where
everybody enjoys themselves – and some more than
others!
Central Hawke’s Bay District Council in
partnership with the Police are asking people who are going
to enjoy the “Show” weekend to be responsible and
remember the liquor ban in and around Waipukurau.
It
is an offence to bring alcohol into, possess liquor, or
consume alcohol in and around public areas in Waipukurau and
also in any vehicle while in a public place. However there
are some commonsense exceptions eg. whilst transporting
alcohol purchased at a liquor store inside the specified
area to your home etc.
This bylaw is enforced by the
Police who have the powers to search containers and vehicles
and to seize alcohol found in the specified area. There are
powers of arrest if people found committing as offence. The
maximum penalty for anyone convicted of an offence under the
bylaw is a fine up to $20,000.00. Signs are visible
throughout the public places of Waipukurau.
These
signs will inform the public that they are either entering
or inside the specified area.
These signs also
indicate what powers the Police have available to enforce
the alcohol
ban.
